How to Support Your Community

Facing a global pandemic is no easy feat, but there are plenty of ways you as an individual can help out. Check out the list below and feel free to suggest any other resources or ideas to me and my team.

​

1. Check on your most vulnerable community members: This includes people who are elderly, chronically ill or immunocompromised, or living alone. A quick phone check-in call, grocery run, or trip to the pharmacy goes a long way.

2. Donate to your local food pantry: With sharp economic downturn and lost wages, people in your community are experiencing food insecurity. Consider donating money to one of our district's food banks, or if you live outside of our district, please consult Project Bread to find your community pantry.

​

3. Support your local mutual aid group: Individual communities have set up websites and groups on social media to provide assistance to local people in need. See if there is one available in your community, or if not, create your own.
